Trombone Shorty

TROMBONE SHORTY by Troy Andrews is a picture book biography
of his growing up in New Orleans and the importance of music in his life. One day
he found a broken trombone.

Sample: “The next time the parade went by my house, I
grabbed that trombone and headed out into the street. My brother James noticed
me playing along and smiled proudly. ’Trombone Shorty!’ he called out, because
the instrument was twice my size.”

Activity:

Make your own musical instrument like Trombone Shorty did.

He made a drum from a 12 pack soda box and used pencils for
drumsticks. He used empty soda bottles as wind instruments.
